The astronauts on the moon were able to see the earth at all times, though not the same face of earth each time. Unlike on earth, from an observers fixed position, the moon would be in view between moon rise and moon set, only.

∙ 6y agoAs long as Earth is above the horizon - and this happens if the astronauts are on the side of the Moon that faces Earth - they will always be able to see Earth. Earth would look four times as large (in diameter) than the Moon looks from us, so about 2 degrees; also, much brighter than the Moon looks to us, because of the larger surface area, combined with a significantly larger albedo.

Who has been on the moon during a lunar eclipse?
No astronauts have ever been on the moon during a lunar eclipse. The last lunar eclipse occurred on November 8, 2022, and the next one will occur on March 14, 2025. The last time humans were on the moon was in December 1972, and there have been no plans to send astronauts back to the moon since then. However, if astronauts were on the moon during a lunar eclipse, they would see a very different sight than people on Earth. The moon would appear to turn a reddish color as it passed through Earth's shadow. This is because the only light that reaches the moon during a lunar eclipse is sunlight that has been refracted through Earth's atmosphere. The blue light is scattered away by the atmosphere, leaving only the red light to reach the moon. In addition to the reddish moon, astronauts on the moon would also see a ring of light around the Earth. This ring of light is caused by sunlight that is refracted through Earth's atmosphere and then reflected off the moon's surface. The ring of light is often called the "Earthshine". So, while no astronauts have ever been on the moon during a lunar eclipse, they would certainly see a very different and awe-inspiring sight than people on Earth.
Is the temperature on the moon like the earth at the equator?

Why people cannot see the moon phase?
Any person on earth can see the phase of the moon by looking for the moon in the night sky. The only reason you would not be able to determine the phase of the moon by observational means would be if the night sky was obscured by clouds.
